Chapter 1668: Glimpse of the Empire (VI.)

The wild elves of the Komi savannah were puzzled by this announcement. They believe that they are not protected by the imperial government, but are ruthlessly ravaged and exploited, and they cannot figure out why they should pay taxes to the oppressive imperial government. In the face of such a question, the Imperial tax collector stationed in Komi Province gave an arrogant answer: "The Imperial Government will spend millions of gold dugas on building roads and bridges in Komi Province to maintain traffic and order, and you wild elves have enjoyed the benefits of these infrastructure and shortened the distance between them and the civilized world, so of course you have to pay for it." ”

Speaking of this, the white wolf couldn't hold back his anger, and instead cursed the domineering of the imperial government and the shamelessness of the tax merchants in the elven native language. Denounced the so-called construction and investment of the empire in the Komi steppe, never consulted their aborigines, did not bring them the slightest benefit, but ruined their originally peaceful and peaceful life, and now they are actually asked to pay a "special tax for construction" for the construction of the railway that ruined their lives, as if the wild elves invited them to invade and humiliate themselves, how can there be such a reason in the world?!

The white wolf loudly announced that the wild elves had run out of patience and would follow the example of the Far Easterners to launch an uprising, demanding that the Komi province break away from the empire and restore the freedom and tranquility of the wild elves' homeland. Until national independence is achieved, they will do whatever it takes to avenge the sacrifice of their people under the imperial butcher's knife until the imperial invaders are completely expelled from the Komi steppe.

"Until we achieve our ultimate goal, we will never stop fighting, we will not accept the surrender of you imperial scum, we do not want your bloody filthy ransom, our hearts are full of anger and thirst for revenge, we only need blood to pay for it!"

The White Wolf issued a final verdict to all passengers. The surrounding wild elves were united in hatred, and shouted with red eyes and raised their arms.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill all these despicable humans!"

"A tooth for a tooth! Blood debt and blood repayment! ”

"Kill all the humans! Give me back my homeland! ”

Driven by hatred, the wild elves went berserk, raising their longbows and firing a storm of arrows at the train. The glass windows shattered, arrows splattered in with broken glass, and exclamations erupted in the carriage. The travelers lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, closed their eyes in despair, shivering, and waited for the moment when the butcher's knife arrived.

The white wolf did not restrain his men in their violence, and a distorted and hideous smile appeared on his oil-painted face. A string of obscure incantations erupted from his lips, and his hands made complex spell-casting gestures, and the scorching magic gathered in front of him, quickly transforming into a bright red and dazzling fireball.

Roland stepped forward and clasped Durandal in his right hand. The white wolf seems to be planning to cast a spell on the first-class car, and when the fireball in his hand is released, the car will be blown up on the spot, and the other passengers except himself, Anthony, and Palatine will probably not be spared.

Just as he was about to make a move, the car window in front of him shattered, and a golden red shadow came out of the window, unfurling the phoenix feather coat and flying towards the white wolf.

Roland knew Palatina's strength, that white wolf was definitely not the opponent of Her Royal Highness the Princess, secretly relieved, turned around and told Anthony to stay in the car to appease the passengers, prevent the wild elves from breaking in and committing violence, and then went out through the window.

A group of wild elves heard the movement, raised their daggers and urged their horses to surround them.

"Get out of here!"

Perhaps affected by the bloody and tear-stained accusation of the white wolf just now, Roland knew that one of the wild elves on the other side was a bloody thug, but he resisted the urge to kill, and only shook them off the saddle with a "Lion King War Cry", and they all fainted on the spot.

A sudden wave of heat struck behind him, Roland turned to watch, and happened to see the golden-armored and red-robed Palatina soaring in the air, slashing the oncoming fireball with a sword in his hand, bursting out with a roar that shook the sky. The flames flew all over the sky, but the moment they touched Palatina, they were extinguished.

Roland knew that Palatina's artifact cloak "Phoenix Feather Cloak" was immune to all fire-based damage, and his attention was more focused on the bright sword in her hand. This sword is a weapon used by Palatina to replace the "Daybreaking Star", and the golden light emitted contains the divine power to destroy all evil, and it is clearly a legendary weapon.

System Hint: Discover the legendary sword "Holy Punisher"!

Identification Report: This +8 Divine Power Sword is shrouded in a golden glow that symbolizes the glory of the sun. Only the priests of Pero can wield the true power of this sword, and the wielder is immune to evil and death spells, and the damage is doubled to those of different faiths!

……

Palatina rushed out of the fire cloud and approached the white wolf in the blink of an eye, swinging the "Holy Punisher" with an invincible momentum.

Swish! A golden glow flashed in the air, and the white wolf's head hovered and flew up, a frightened expression on its face.

Sensing that its owner was being attacked, the vultures flapped their wings in panic in an attempt to flee the battlefield. The headless corpse on horseback shook twice, and finally fell down with a pop, and the blood spurting from the broken neck stained the grass red.

The surrounding vulture-mounted wild elf hunters were stunned to see their leader beheaded with a sword. It wasn't until the white werewolf's head hit the ground that he suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly pulled the bowstring, and shot a rain of arrows at the golden-armored red-robed female evil star in the air with a blood-stained sword.

Rumble! A white sonic boom cloud suddenly opened behind Roland, and instantly surpassed the arrows that appeared next to Palatina, moving around her at high speed, and the "divine flight" broke through the sound barrier and brought up a circle of airflow barriers, blowing away all the arrows fired at Palatina.

The wild elves raised their bows and their mouths were wide open, staring at the whirling whirlwind barrier.

At this moment, the sound of military trumpets was heard in the distance, and the figure of a group of vulture cavalry appeared in the sky covered by clouds. The commander of the Harrenhal garrison finally received the news of the attack on the train and sent a vulture cavalry to the rescue.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the wild elves immediately whistled and conveyed the order to retreat. The hunters on the vulture horses were frightened by Palatina and Roland, and were the first to turn around and flee, while the rest of the wild elves hurriedly took the loot of this plunder, climbed on their horses and fled.

The sound of horses' hooves quickly faded away, and the prairie returned to calm. Except for the passengers who survived the robbery on the train, only the corpses and bloodstains in the grass gave silent testimony to the tragedy that had just ended.

Roland sighed and walked over to Palatine to say something comforting, but before she could speak, she glared at her.

"You don't have to say those pretending pretty things to me, I know you're laughing inside! If you want to laugh at the chaos of law and order in the empire, why don't you say it openly! ”
